The fashionable Islander is in advanced talks with the High Street label, which would make her the first of this year’s lot to bag a brand deal.

If Shakira lands the contract, it would see her following in the footsteps of legend Ekin-Su Culculoglu who landed a £1m payday from Oh Polly in 2023.
A source said: “Shakira is in final talks with Oh Polly for a massive clothing deal.
“The brand love her no-nonsense attitude, how she’s such a strong woman whilst also being a great friend.
“It’s all the values Oh Polly look for in their ambassadors.
“Plus she’s absolutely gorgeous, fashionable and already proving to be a big hit on social media now she’s left the villa.”
It comes after Pretty Little Thing declared in a break from tradition, it would not be working with any of this year’s cast.
But The Sun revealed a big TV future lies ahead of Shakira, her man Harry Cookesley and the other finalists Yasmin Pettet and winner Toni Laites.
ITV is seeking to actively cast them for their biggest shows like Celebrity Big Brother, new show The Box and even considering the jungle.
An insider said about the fashion deals: “It’s a huge blow for the islanders this year, but PLT just aren’t interested.
“They have had a huge rebrand recently and while there’s no doubt they have made millions off the likes of Molly-Mae in the past, they will be doing things differently.”
Molly famously ended up as creative director for PLT after impressing bosses so much.
Gemma Owen also signed a hefty deal with them off the back of her series and Ella Thomas, Grace Jackson and Uma Jammeh all worked with them too.
